Trondheim Summer School
Multi-verb Constructions in Constraint-Based Grammar
in macro- and micro-typological perspectives
June 23 - 27, 2003
CALL FOR PAPERS
ANNOUNCEMENT OF COURSES
The Trondheim Summer School in Linguistics (TROSS) at NTNU (Norwegian
University of Science and Technology) will offer 3 days with intensive
courses, followed by a 2-days workshop, both with the over-all theme
Multi-verb constructions in Constraint-Based Grammar.
The courses are sponsored by NFR (Norwegian Research Council) through its
program 'Nasjonale forskerkurs', and the workshop is sponsored by the NUFU
project 'The Legon-Trondheim Linguistics and Literacy Project'.
The courses give an introduction to Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) and
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), through their application to
multi-verb expressions and 'complex predicates' as manifest in
West-African, and South- and South-East Asian languages. Teachers are
Miriam Butt, University of Manchester, Mary Esther Kropp Dakubu, University
of Ghana, Kweku E. Osam, University of Ghana, and Stephen M. Wechsler,
University of Texas at Austin.
The ensuing workshop focuses on the same and related themes, with invited
talks as well as selected papers. The invited speakers are Felix Ameka,
University of Leiden, Miriam Butt, University of Manchester, Mary Esther
Kropp Dakubu, University of Ghana, and Stephen M. Wechsler, University of
Texas at Austin. There will be about 10-12 selected papers (see below).
Participants in the workshop are welcome to also attend the courses.
WORKSHOP ON MULTI-VERB CONSTRUCTIONS (JUNE 26- 27)

the frameworks highlighted in the course.
